Earlier today, a significant leak unveiled upcoming content in XDefiant, an anticipated shooter from Ubisoft. This leak came after a prolonged wait for a release date, with the game suffering multiple delays. The leaked images on Twitter showcased four seasons’ worth of content, including factions, a battle pass system, maps, and weapon challenges.
The leak provides fans with a detailed roadmap for XDefiant, a game that gained popularity following a successful beta test last year. Over one million players participated in the beta, experiencing a unique shooter where factions consist of characters from Ubisoft’s diverse lineup of games. Now, the future of these factions has been publicly disclosed on social media.
When XDefiant finally launches, Rainbow Six Siege, Far Cry: New Dawn, Assassin’s Creed, and Ghost Recon will each take turns as core factions. Each season will introduce a new faction alongside battle passes, cosmetics bundles, and weapons, following the typical free-to-play shooter model that relies on paid season passes.
The leak also revealed a 50-tier battle pass expected to be priced at around $10, containing various in-game items like weapons, boosts, and skins. This model mirrors other popular shooters like Call of Duty, Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, and Apex Legends.
The leak on Twitter also unveiled new maps such as ‘Waterfront’ from Far Cry: New Dawn, rumored to debut in Season 2 of XDefiant. Additionally, a ski resort-themed map was teased along with details about bundles, pre-order bonuses, pricing, new weapons, challenges, and game modes.
With this substantial leak, there are now fewer surprises regarding the factions and content planned for each season of XDefiant. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on the game’s release date, which is expected to be announced soon by Mark Rubin, the game’s executive producer. Stay tuned to Esports.net for the latest updates.
